Hardware New 3ds XL extended battery things.

I know that mugen sells a thing, but was there anyone else doing similar things that's not that expensive? I already dropped way too much on thenew 3ds xl, and an extra hundred is a hard pill to swallow.

Not a lot of choices for an internal solution.

Have you considered an external supply with USB > 3DS cord? You can get a pretty reasonable 10K mAh charger on Amazon

Turning off your wifi make the N3DS live a lot longer too.

I already have a cable thing theone I chose was this one http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KLR0GT2?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage It works ust fine. iused my 3ds I amde it run down to ~50% then turned the birghtness all fo the way up, 3d all of the way up power saver off, wifi wasn't on I don't think and hten plugged it into a 5v1a wall outlet I ahd. It charged it just fine and I had heard that some of the other cables could _only_ charge the system in sleep mode which is insane to me. Mainly I want to charge the battery less time. i have an external powerbank I gto at aldi's for 15USD that's 5200mAh and has a 5v2.1a out port, a 5v2.1a input, two usb ports one is 1a the other is 2.1a, and a microusbin port for charging.


The aldi one has a 3 year warranty on it and I am mainly using it if I'm somewherewhere I cannot charge via the car's outlet but still less charging is always a nice thing.

On my o3ds I had wifi off, brightness 1-3(tops) 3d off most of the time, and power saver on all of the time but I have a nyko powerpak+ on it, and my wii u's tablet controller has a similar extended battery. I've not yet gotten the nintendo one yet as I don't have a ph#00 screwdriver and 40USD lying around extra.

I have the mugen for my n3dsxl and i LOVE it. I'm actually having a hard time playing without it as it doesnt feel as good. weird i know

If you are considering buying, don't go thru them, i waited for 4 months and never received it. got a refund, ordered on ebay and had it within 3-4 days.

Also, since i used it i never saw my device showing the red bar, it really gives me around 12-13 hours with everything on, top brightness.

 

[masterz87]

did you et it from the "only official usa mugen reseller" best deals or whatever they call themselves on ebay?

My primary issue was cost, as I was only ever going to pay with paypal so if they fucked me over I could cancel the transaction and get a refud when they didn't deliver.

I bought from them http://m.ebay.com/itm/OEM-Mugen-Pow...DS-Video-Console-BLU-/161926626812?nav=SEARCH

I also want an extended battery/accu but for my new3DS (not XL).
As I know Mugen is the only company which produces that.
And I don't want to pay ~80€ for it (by the way.. I can't find the new3DS one anymore on the internet..)
And an extended battery/accu for a normal 3DS just costs around 15€..
I thought a little bit about that powerbank idea and I would just accept it if I could get at least a bigger case for the new3DS (so that I am able to just place the powerbank in it).
